Short and Sweet

Short and Sweet!

Many of Hollywood’s Leading Ladies Are Going for Shorter Locks for a Sweeter Look!

Extensions have long been popular in Hollywood, with extension lines from Jessica Simpson (HairDo) and Paris Hilton (Dream Catchers). But this summer, many of Hollywood’s most recognized women are chopping it all off and we say, it’s about time! Ladies, follow the latest Hollywood trend and feel ok about getting rid of those fake extensions and dried-out ends. Two of the most inspiring new hairstyles are Katie Holmes’ layered bob and Renee Zellweger’s cropped cut. Here are the secrets to what they did and who can pull it off.

Pump up the Volume!

Renee’s previous hairstyle did nothing to flatter her unique looks. Her shoulder-length, baby-fine hair looked over-processed and hung limply below her shoulders. Renee’s new hairstyle is very short, with long, textured layers throughout. Her hair now looks thicker and healthier, and it opens up her entire face.

While most stylists would not recommend this hairstyle on someone with a round face shape like Renee, the style works very well for her because of her sharp cheekbones. This is a perfect hairstyle for women with fine hair because it adds fullness and body. Those with thick, curly hair should wear it shorter (á la Kerry Russell from her “Felicity” days) or a bit longer to avoid the dreaded football helmet comparison.

Women need to remember that this style is not as low-maintenance as it appears. There are no ponytail fixes, and you must commit to wash and style your hair everyday.

Grow Up!

Rarely has a hairstyle generated as much talk as Katie Holmes’ recent sassy, layered bob.

Unfortunately for Tom (who, rumor has it, loves women with long hair), Katie’s long, girlish hairstyle did not flatter her body type or facial features. Katie has a downward-turned eye shape and a long, narrow body. Her long hair seemed to drag down her features even more, making her appear droopy and shapeless. Her new chin-length style lifts her face and opens her eyes, and the shaggy layers add movement and a grown-up sex appeal.

Virtually anyone can pull off this look. The secret is adjusting the length and amount of layers to compliment your face shape.

Take Note:

• 
  

  Those with long, narrow faces should add side-swept bangs to add fullness to the face.

  
  


• 
  

  Women with round faces should aim for a below-the-chin length and long layers to avoid adding additional width.

  
  


• 
  

  Women with squared-shaped faces will find that long, soft layers will soften hard jaw lines and add femininity to their look.

  
  

While these styles look beautiful on Renee and Katie, remember that they won’t work for everyone. Make sure to consult with your hair designer to customize a look that works best for you.

Modern Spring 2010 Hair Styles For Women

Spring is just around the bend and everybody's excited for the anticipated leap forward, but more than that it's telling us to shake off the winter blues. And what better way to do that than to smarten up your style with a new hairstyle?

Now you don't really have to rush into a drastic change without consulting somebody in-the-know just to update your looks. Your hair cut and style or even your hair color is as important as when you go for a new wardrobe, so consult your hairdresser. They would be in the best position to advise you on what will look good with the type of hair you have, face shape and skin tone.

Spring hairstyles for women call for excellent cuts that show off soft layers and wispy fringes for easy and versatile hair styles. It's the perfect time to bring out that soft feminine look to complement open necklines, flowing floral fabrics and silky smooth pastel makeup apt for the season.

It seems straightener is temporarily relegated to the drawer, at least until after the sunny seasons; soft textures and curls rule and will most likely dominate the hair waves in the following months. It's all about that carefree, natural look with plenty of texture and not as much hair products.

Here are some basic guides to get that trendy new look:

Sassy Short Hair

This season, shorter hairstyles are a study in contradiction; an amazing blend of soft and sharp, if you want to put it that way, with a touch of the playful and the rebellious. Most women seem afraid of short hair because they're quite unsure that they wouldn't end up with blunt cut and straight edges. But if it's done right, you'd end up with the trendiest short hair style.

How to get the right style: Hair should be shorter on the sides and longer through the top with lots of volume. Ask your hair stylist to create choppy, asymmetrical layers on top. This will ensure that hair doesn't lie flat to the head and has slight volume. Sweeping fringes or heavy bangs that taper from shortest to longest in a left-to-right fashion, add a delicate finish to an edgy look. This style also allows you to wear your hair all brushed forward, swept to one side or parted and tucked behind the ears.

Sexy Mid Length or Shoulder Length

An all-one-length hair looks boring and dull; and there's a chance that it won't frame your face as it should. So avoid it at all cost. Layers are still very much in and they generally give your hair that bouncy movement, glossy shine and silky smoothness.

How to get the right style: Have your hair stylist add longer layers at the back with shorter strands in front to better frame your face. Give firm instruction not to over-layer though, as this can result to hair getting a tad too wispy and thin at the bottom, and may create "fly-away" strands.

If your hair is on the thin side or you have very fine strands, use volumizing shampoo and only apply conditioner at the tips. For extra lift, apply volumizing product to the root and scalp area and briskly massage with your fingertips in an upward direction. You can either air-dry your hair for messy but sexy look or blow-dry straight with a paddle brush. Complete the style with some squirts of hairspray for added texture and volume.

Chic Long Looks

The good thing about long hair is there are dozens of ways you can style it whether you have natural waves and curls or very straight long hair.

How to get the right style: Rather than taking off a uniform length, your hairstylist should trim and shape in layers to frame your face better. Layers give the illusion of lighter look.

If you have wavy or curly long locks, wear it loose and relaxed with long tumbling waves. With the classic model center parting, the "just-from-the-beach" look provides a carefree, chic and sexy appearance. You can still sport this hair style even if you have straight hair by following these simple steps:

• Blow-dry and section your hair


• Twist into ringlets and secure with hairclips; then, allow to cool


• Remove grips and gently run your fingers through the tresses

Spring 2010 hairstyles will see a resurgence of one sided braids and side plaits. This hair style is very easy to create. First, apply a texturizing or styling product that provides soft hold. Then sweep hair to one side and plait loosely, securing the bottom with a natural colored band. Run your fingers over the braid and tease out the short bits to create a messy but playful finish.

Up-do is still a hit in hot 2010 long hair styles that include the classic ballerina buns. But loose buns are also chic and sexy and easy to do, too. Buy a hair donut from a dance shop. Pull your hair into a pony tail and secure with a naturally colored elastic band. And don't worry about making it perfect - messy looks great! Thread the hair through the donut and wrap your hair around it. Use a few hair grips to hold it in place.

Take the hint from the catwalks this spring and hug your hair's natural texture. Go for 2010 spring hairstyles that bring out the essence of a woman: simplicity and femininity.

Selena Gomez's Dream Out Loud Clothing

I’m about to head off on an adventure I would have never imagined or dreamed of, I’m beginning to do some research on how to survive this cold and chilly climate.

Let’s face it. Alaska in the middle of winter can’t get much worse for a southern California girl who is used to sparkling and sunny 80-degree weather in December.

If you want to survive the cold (and I’m talking below zero highs), you must wear layers; not bulky layers but multiple thin layers. Thank goodness layering has not gone out of style, because of course that fashionista side of me will always find a way to look good AND stay warm.

When dressing for sub-zero temperatures, opt for more layers on top and less on bottom to better flatter your figure. Too many bulky layers will make you look like you added on the holiday pounds…without getting to enjoy the cookies, treats and eggnog. Not cool. There are many options for sleek, thin layers that are meant to keep you warm in cooler temps.

Shopping for winter clothing can get pricey though, especially if it’s a one-time trip and you don’t deal with these cold temperatures regularly. Either way, the right coat will make a huge difference – your coat should be high quality, warm and fit well. Price shouldn’t matter when buying your winter coats anyway…you’ll be hating yourself for skimping on the price if you’re freezing out there!

And last but definitely not least: protect your head, ears, face and neck! Luckily, headwear these days are super cute and fashionable. Plus, you can find great hats, beanies, headbands, earmuffs and scarves just about anywhere.

Now that you won’t be wearing as much jewelry because your layers will be covering them, think of your headwear and scarves as your winter accessories! Be creative and have fun with your colors and prints – it will help you get through that cold weather easier while still looking good!
